Overview

An ordinary household iron is all you need to apply this premium hot-melt edge banding. Just position the edging on the edge of your plywood or other substrate and smooth it with a few passes of an iron or slide it through an edge-banding machine. Suitable for straight-line edges as well as contours. Bandings are impregnated with a high-speed hot-melt glue that creates a permanent bond. They also are pre-sanded and readily accept stains and finishes. Both solid wood edge bandings and melamine edge bandings are available. Available in a variety of wood species – some of them difficult to find in edge bandings.

To complete the project that I am working on the plans call for the plywood to be edge banded. I have used Rockler products in the past and have had good results. Therefore I believe that the use of this item will result in satisfaction on my part

BEST ANSWER:I have used this on the front of a custom build pullout LED under cabinet light fixture whose frame was constructed from aluminum angle. I built this over 3 years ago and it gets used at least every other day. The veneer is still holding strong!

BEST ANSWER:FastCap SpeedTape is a thin double stick tape. You could probably use it to attach end banding but not with a hot iron. The tape would have to be trimmed to match the banding if it is too wide. You would need a roller to press it down uniformly. If it is too narrow, then there would be gaps at the edge and the banding would peel or break. Hot iron is probably best.

i am not a pro. I'm in the middle of a bookcase project and used the maple edging. I was worried about it. But it was easy. i used my wife's iron and I DID NOT get glue on it. I trimmed the edging with a safety razor, then a file and a block with sandpaper. Sometimes the grain changes as you use the razor. So take your time. Its pretty thin so sand carefully. Staining with Minwax ebony was a little blotchy.

High quality, easy to work with, plenty of glue that holds well. Made a couple of mistakes and was able to just heat the band, peel it off, and reapply the same piece. Don't waste time with fancy edge banding tools. An old iron set on high worked great to set the banding. After trying a popular dedicated banding trim tool, and spending time fixing gouges, I found that a good sharp low angle plane worked best. Trim it to about 1/64" and use 150 sandpaper to take it down flush. Just be careful to remove any excess glue at the glue line before staining.

It's a great product and I have been using it for at least 25 years. It allows me to use birch plywood in place of solid wood on many projects, especially those that will be painted. Plywood being a more stable product that won't cup, check or split. I mostly use it for cabinet and furniture projects.

When a product works as advertised, then it get's a 5 star rating from me. I was pleased with the quality and ease of use. I found that using a flat file was the easiest method for removing the extra on each side of the board after it dried.

The product seems to be good quality real black walnut wood backed with hot-melt glue. It was easy to apply with a regular iron heated to the cotton setting. After the glue has cooled to room temp, it can and should be sanded with 180-220 grit and then stained.

It was OK. Not exactly what I anticipated. I had a partial roll of white birch banding I bought from a big box store, but felt that a product purchased from Rockler would be more of the "professional" style/quality. Have to give the quality edge to the big box variety in this case. Just plain better, easier to work with.
